Profile text: 10/23/2024: "Winter is the death of Summer but the Birth of Spring!" 05/02/2024: "Life is just like a game, First you have to learn rules of the game, And then play it better then any one else." ― Albert Einstein 03/15/2024" "*Masculinity is not the assertion of power. Instead it advocates a man to become the best version of himself, not for his own gain, but to live a life in service. *Masculinity doesn't commodify the weak, it nurtures them. *Masculinity is disciplined, vulnerable, patient, grounded, aware. 02/13/2024: "Don't be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don't forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds." 12/01/2023: "Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips." ~Khalil Gibran, The Prophet, 1923 05/15/2023: " I want to be kissed so deeply my throat hurts ~ so softly my heart hurts ~ so hungrily my stomach hurts ~ so completely that nothing hurts ..." 05/06/2023: "They keep saying that the right person will come along some day. I think a truck hit mine." And another thing .. Why have we run out of tops because all everybody wants to be is a bottom! 02/16/2023: For every step you take for a friend, you are saving a thousand steps for yourself. Selfish acts of love and kindness reaps more benefits for the doer than it does for the recipient! 08/04/2022: "When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to him; whether the light which surrounds him like a halo comes from you, from him, or from the meeting of your sparks." 07/04/2022: Several have asked for my email address:[email protected]. 06/08/2022: "All it takes is one bloom of hope to make a spiritual garden." ~Terri Guillemets. 05/25/2021: We tend to overlook what is close by. Many are chasing after what they want without knowing that what they want is chasing after them as well. We only realize the value of what we have when we wanted that someone but he wasn't there anymore. 04/17/2022: And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here." ~Saint Augustine" 01/15/2022: Every day starts with some Expectations But every day ends with some Experience. This is life .. so enjoy the day, every day!! 12/31/2021: As the old year comes to a close, I want to wish each and everyone nothing but a life filled with blessings for 2022! 10/31/2021: Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you. 10/23/2021: Give yourself permission to walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes. There is no need to explain it. Just trust what you feel! 10/19/2021: When you are no longer friends with someone, respect the secrets they have shared with you. It's called Integrity! 08/06/2021: "Happiness is always a by-product. It never comes to those who concentrate on securing it... It always comes as a result of something else. The pursuit of noble things, the things essentially worth while... As a man goes on life's journey, with a brave heart, doing the best he can... he often hears the faint flutter of invisible wings, he feels a presence, a companion. It is Happiness. ' Author Unknown 07/24/2021: If your path demands you walk through HELL, Walk as if you own the place! 06/27/2021: I have been fully vaccinated for Covid! What about you? Have you been vaccinated? 06/05/2021: "You'll encounter many obstacles along the road to living your dreams. Some obstacles may be real, some imagined, some may be tangible, and some may be intangible. Some of those obstacles will be created by others and some will be self-imposed. However they manifest, you will always be given the choice as to whether you give them power." 04/29/2021: Famous quote in honor of Memorial Day and all our hero's dead and alive: These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead. ~Robert G. Ingersoll 04/10/2021: I have been vaccinated with both shots for the covid virus. What about you? 02/14/2021: If the grass looks greener on the other side ... Stop staring. Stop comparing. Stop complaining and Start watering the grass you're standing on. 01/17.2021: "A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by the majority" ~ Booker T. Washington 01/09/2021: Just to say I love you never seems enough. I've said it so many times I am afraid you won't understand what I really mean when I say it. How can so much feeling, so much adoration possibly fit into those three little words. But until I find some other way of saying what I feel, then "I love you" will have to do. So no matter how many times I say it, never take it lightly, for you are my life, and my only love. I love you now more than ever before! 01/01/2021: "Every man should be born again on the first of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle, if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but, on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take interest in the things that are and are to be, and not in the things that were and are past." ~Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) 12/19/2020: Each of us has a star that shines with the rest, but sometimes we twinkle alone, but when you feel you're about to lose your own spark, I'm here to share my glow with you. 11/06/2020: We are not all in the same boat, but we are all in the same storm. Support each other #Don't Judge #Be kind! 10/03/2020: Fact: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fact: Breast cancer in Men is usually detected as a hard lump underneath the nipple and areola. Men carry a higher mortality than women do, primarily because awareness among men is less and they are less likely to assume a lump is breast cancer, which can cause a delay in seeking treatment. (I am a breast cancer survivor and speak truths) 08/14/2020: Everybody is a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We're all trying to experiment to find a way to live, solve problems, and fend off the chaos. I am passionate and loyal about a relationship with somebody when the stars align and the universe says it's right. That being said, I am seeking a younger friend to help me grow even older. The basis of all life starts with a friendship. 07/05/2020: Distance is not for the fearful, it's for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those who know a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough. In true love the smallest distance is too great and the greatest distance can be bridged 07/04/2020: The most patriotic man, ladies and gentlemen, is sometimes the man who goes in the direction that he thinks right even when he sees half the world against him. It is the dictate of patriotism to sacrifice yourself if you think that that is the path of honor and of duty. Do not blame others if they do not agree with you. Do not die with bitterness in your heart because you did not convince the rest of the world, but die happy because you believe that you tried to serve your country by not selling your soul. Those were grim days, the days of 1776. Those gentlemen did not attach their names to the Declaration of Independence on this table expecting a holiday on the next day, and that 4th of July was not itself a holiday. They attached their signatures to that significant document knowing that if they failed it was certain that every one of them would hang for the failure. They were committing treason in the interest of the liberty of 3,000,000 people in America. All the rest of the world was against them and smiled with cynical incredulity at the audacious undertaking. Do you think that if they could see this great Nation now they would regret anything that they then did to draw the gaze of a hostile world upon them? Every idea must be started by somebody, and it is a lonely thing to start anything. Yet if it is in you, you must start it if you have a man's blood in you and if you love the country that you profess to be working for. ~Woodrow Wilson, Presidential Address at Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1914 July 4th. Happy Independence Day my friends and Stay Safe my American Friends! 06/22/2020: As they say, everything should be nice in a handsome guy. It seems to me, the real nice consists of harmonic connection of soul richness, moral clearance and only after these ones of the physical appealing to the partner. In other words, appearance is only our outside dress. The real and natural beauty is inside of our soul - somewhere deep in the soul and it reflects in the eyes. I will not describe myself cause it seems to me that the really interesting guy will be noticed by the deeds and modesty and slight enigma, won't he? 06/18/2020: A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (O.M.G.!!!) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy. I'm still not over the pig.) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home. What the...?) The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still can't believe that pig ...quality over quantity.) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Okay, so that would be a good thing.) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder how much the government paid to figure that out.) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that, too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (Talk about a southpaw.) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts.... hilarious 06/17/202: Love your life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you are scared to do. So many of us die and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don't waste it. 05/28/2020: Guys--------------------------- -----------are like apples------------ -------on trees. The best ones-------- -----are at the top of the tree------- -----Most guys don't want to reach---- ----for the good ones because they---- -are afraid of falling & getting hurt- -Instead, they get the rotten apples-- --from the ground that aren't as nice-- -but easy.

Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, Face it. Memories are sweet, Cherish it." 01/17.2020: "At the end of the day, I think most of us want to be liked. We want to be accepted. And we want to be loved and respected. I hope it starts with yourself. But the reality is that sometimes- even when you are sure of who you are- words can hurt and they can burn. I hope you remember that what you say matters. That the things you do can hurt someone else's heart. That it doesn't feel nice to be mean. And I hope you remember that your actions and words are always a reflection of yourself. And I hope you hold yourself to a high standard and then it all goes back to self-love. I think if you can develop an appreciation for who you are as a person, you can start to respect who others are as people too." ~~Jessica Jessen 09/05/2019: Life is so ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence. 08/23/2019: "Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy, everybody has issues. You never know what people are going through. So pause before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking others. Everybody is fighting their own unique war." 08/03/2019: "Remember, Ships don't sink because of the water around them. Ships sink because of the water that gets inside of them. Moral of the story, don't let what is happening around you, get inside of you and weigh you down." 07/13/2019: The Moon taught me: It's Ok to go through phases. The Sun taught me: No matter how many times you go down. Keep Rising! 05/31/2019: "Keep walking through the storm. Your rainbow is waiting on the other side." ~ Heather Stillufsen 05/01/2019: When life gives you lemons, freeze them and then throw them as hard as you can at the people making your life difficult. 04/27/2019: Always remember to fall asleep with a dream and wake up with a purpose! 04/13/2019: Life is short, so break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile! 04/06/2019: "We should be lifting each other up and cheering each other on, not trying to outshine one another. The sky would be awfully dark with just one star." 03/31/2019: Everyone says love hurts, but this is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love. But in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. I am... an uncle. a big brother. a father figure. an activist. an employee. an American. a friend in the world. I am a voice that matters. I vote. I read. I eat. I sleep. I make mistakes and I try to live with dignity. I am human. I am spiritual. I dance. I sing. I scream in pain and pleasure. I enjoy the voyage of life and respect those on other ships... Respect yourself. I am connected to my world. I am not isolated. You are connected to the world. You are not isolated. We all affect one another. Let our influences be progressive. I think rationally. I think analytically. I think optimistically. I think ideally. I think sometimes too much. I believe in the power of love while staring in the face of hate. I believe in the power of positive thinking in a cynical world gone wild. I believe in me. I believe in you. 03/23/2019: Sometimes the best thing you do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best. 03/17.2019: For each petal on the shamrock This brings a wish your way - Good health, good luck, and happiness For today and every day. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! 03/01/2019: Take care of yourself first or you will have nothing left to give others. Self-care is not selfishness. You cannot serve it from an empty vessel. 02/07/2019: Why do we close our eyes when we pray, when we cry, when we kiss, when we dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt only by the heart! 02/04/2019: "So often in life a new chapter awaits. You ride off into the sunset and discover it's the sunrise." ~Robert Brault 01/18/2019: "I smile because I have survived everything the world has thrown at me. I smile because when I was knocked down, I got back up." 01/01/2019: Today I closed the door to the past, opened the door to the future, took a deep breath, and stepped on through and started a new chapter in my life. Happy New Year Everyone with great blessings coming your way in 2019! 12/26/2018: Hugging is the most beautiful form of communication that allows the other person to know beyond a doubt that they matter to you. 12/13/2018: Relationships last not because they were destined to last. Relationships last long because two people made a choice to keep it, fight for it and work for it. Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy, everybody has issues. You never know what people are going through. So pause before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking others. Everybody is fighting their own unique war. 12/08/2018: Sometimes, it's not the song that makes you emotional, it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it. 12/01/2018: Hello December, You're the last one, so please be the best one to all who need your holiday cheer! 12/01/2018: To Be Happy You Must - Let go of what's gone. Be grateful for what remains, and look forward to what's coming next! 11/20/2018: Thoughts to consider as we look forward to Thanksgiving. Life is just a moment A man died... When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand. Dialog between God and Man: God: *Alright son, it's time to go* Man: So soon? I had a lot of plans... God: *I am sorry but, it's time to go* Man: What do you have in that suitcase? God: *Your belongings* Man: My belongings? You mean my things... Clothes... money... God; *Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth* Man: Is it my memories? God: *No. They belong to Time* Man: Is it my talent? God: *No. They belong to Circumstance* Man: Is it my friends and family? God: *No son. They belong to the Path you traveled* Man: Is it my wife and children? God: *No. they belong to your Heart* Man: Then it must be my body God: *No No... It belongs to Dust* Man: Then surely it must be my Soul! God: *You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.* Man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from God's hand and opened it... Empty... Heartbroken and with tears running down his cheeks he ask God... Man: I never owned anything? God: *That's Right. You never owned anything*. Man: Then? What was mine? God: your *MOMENTS*. Every moment you lived was *yours*. Do Good in every moment Think Good in every moment Thank God for every moment Life is just a MOMENT!. Live it... Love it... Enjoy ... 11/08/2018: In the Words of Dr. Seuss "Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get the chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!" 11/01/2018: "We seldom think of November in terms of beauty or any other specially satisfying tribute. November is simply that interval between colorful and dark December. Then, nearly every year, come a few November days of clear, crisp weather that makes one wonder why November seldom gets its due. There is the November sky, clean of summer dust, blown clear this day of the urban smog that so often hazes autumn.... There is the touch of November in the air, chill enough to have a slight tang, like properly aged cider. Not air that caresses, nor yet air that nips. Air that makes one breathe deeply and think of spring water and walk briskly." 10/27/2018: Time, like the water in a river cannot be touched twice, because that which has passed will never pass again. Enjoy ever moment of life in it's own time. Don't promise when you are in joy, don't reply when you are sad, and don't make choices when you are angry. Think Twice, and then Act Twice. 10/19/2018: You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. The point is whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So, we have to ask ourselves, "What's in my cup?" When life gets tough, what spills out? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Or does anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions come out? You Choose! Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, kindness, gentleness and love for others. 10/14/2018: "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." ~ Mark Twain 10/12/2018: "Poor listener's are deaf and blind to their surroundings. They talk at people, which I've learned is the first indicator of loneliness, a lack of self-control & awareness. But the best conversationalists are like good salesmen; they don't have to sell a thing. They know listening is the best form of persuasion, so they ask questions allowing the customer to sell themselves. This is intelligence that understands the art of conversation lies solely in listening. It heals by allowing others to feel heard, and it's miraculous for both involved. To do so, is not only one of the 1st forms of respect, but it's also the 1st duty of love. . What I ask and how I listen usually contributes FAR more to a conversation than anything else I could say. In other words, the quieter I am, the more I hear, which is why listening is the language of wisdom. Watch yourself closely, and exercise mindfulness. Listen not to reply, but first with the intent to understand." "A wise man once said nothing at all." - Drake. 10/07/2018: My life is like a very interesting novel, which I write every day with my sensitive soul and curious heart. My eyes reflect my inner world with its victories and defeats and I am not afraid of showing my nature, because only being natural and sincere we can encounter love. It is a pity that in modern world we do not have much time for inner development, because usually we are in a hurry and hardly find time to ask ourselves if we are really happy, but how do we get the courage to fall in love when we do not know ourselves? I definitely know that I am genuine, kind, affectionate, tender, sensual and refined. I have an ocean of love inside and I desire to give it all to my future partner and fill his life with romance and gentle feelings. I value traditions and that is why I really strive for creating a life-long relationship. I am an optimist till the tips of my toes and I am able to fully appreciate every moment. I love life and try to bring joy to my close people.! I also believe that being dependable is one of the biggest factors in knowing how to build trust in a relationship. 09/28.2018: I asked God, "Why are you taking me through troubled waters?" He replied: "Because your enemies can't swim" 09/25/2018: As you get older, you'll realize that a $300 watch and a $30 watch both tell the same time. A Michael Kors wallet and a Forever 21 wallet hold the same amount of money. A $300,000 house and a $100,000 house host the same loneliness. A Ford will also drive you as far as a Bentley. True happiness is not found in materialistic things, It comes from the love and laughter found with each other. Stay humble ... the holes dug for us in the ground are all the same size. 09/22/2018: "Never give up. Always fight like you are the third monkey trying to get on Noah's Ark." 09/18/2018: TWO RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE: 1. Money cannot buy happiness but its more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle. 2. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk. 09/16/2018: Sometimes in life if you do not risk you do not win, but you also have to know how to play the right hands at the right time. Just like friendship, it is something that you have to value because if a friendship is true you are assured that trust will always be mutual on both sides. 09/12/2018: Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. Don't love what you can't trust. Don't hate what you can't have. Don't say what you can't show. Don't judge what you don't know. 09/01/2018: • Beauty comes in many shapes, sizes, and places. • I am fiercely loyal to my friends. This loyalty is earned by the trial of fire. • I am, naively, surprised when people disappoint me. • Saying, love, is easy; doing love takes enormous commitment. • Birds of a feather flock together. • A picture is worth a thousand words. "I hope you find someone who speaks your language, so you don't have to spend a lifetime translating your spirit." 08/11/2018: I've come to realize that the secret to a happy life is not looking like Barbie or Ken and suffering through tofu and rice cakes to stay that way! It's eating chocolate, staying chunky and explain that you're really a perfect size 6, but you keep it covered with fat so it doesn't get scratched! 08/04/2018: Sometimes I say that happiness for me is to be myself. And for you, is it a quest, a walk or an obligation? We want to know your truth. What's inside you, what you do not tell everyone? Because happiness is not just a post on the internet, being happy is being yourself. So, who are you, what do you like, what makes you happy? 07/21/2018: "The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?" ~Chuang Tzu 07/13/2018: Never be afraid to try something new: Remember, Amateurs built the Ark ... Professionals built the Titanic! 07/12/2018: You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless. 07/09/2018: "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck 06/25/2018: "Every man has a right to his own opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts." ~Bernard Baruch, 1946 06/13/2018: BE DECISIVE: Right or Wrong, make a decision. The road of life is paved with flat squirrels who couldn't make a dicision! 06/09/2018: "If I am an advocate for anything, it is to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food. It's a plus for everybody because Life is complicated. It's filled with nuance. It's unsatisfying... If I believe in anything, it is doubt. The root cause of all life's problems is looking for a simple fucking answer." Anthony Bourdain 06/08/2018: "We are the captains of our own ships sailing the sea of life, but in times of a stormy weather, you will discover true friends when they don't hesitate to be a lighthouse." ~Dodinsky, 06/04/2018: "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." 05/27/2018: Remembering those past and present who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and praying for those men and women still putting themselves in harm's way who continually defend our rights and freedoms. May God Bless you all! Have a safe Memorial Day Holiday. 05/22/2018: My life is like a very interesting novel, which I write every day with my sensitive soul and curious heart. My eyes reflect my inner world with its victories and defeats and I am not afraid of showing my nature, because only being natural and sincere we can encounter love.

I love life and try to bring joy to my close people.! I also believe that being dependable is one of the biggest factors in knowing how to build trust in a relationship. 05/18/2018: When people throw you stones, it's because you are a good tree full of fruits. They see a lot of harvest in you. Don't go down to their level by throwing them back the stones, but thrown them your fruits so the seeds of yourself may inspire them to change their ways. 05/11/2018: "Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because it will never come again." -- Jean Luc Picard 05/09/2018: "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius 04/28/2018: When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. 04/27/2018: "Just as the old, looking back, idealize the past, so the young, looking forward, idealize the future. Illusion is the stuff of memory - and is at the heart of hope." ~Dr. Idel Dreimer 04/21/2018: "What if at the end we are asked, How faithfully did you tend to the dream I sowed in your soul?" 04/08/2018: "Friendships are awesome but Friendship with love is priceless. Relationships Are Not An Exam To Pass Or Fail...!! Nor is it a Competition To Win Or Lose...!!, It's a Feeling that You Care For Someone More Than Yourself". 04/04/2018: "We all have that one person we'd stay up late for. Only them. Why? Because they're the person who can make you smile through a text. The only person who gives you genuine butterflies. The only person you'd lose sleep for." 03/31/2018: "Easter is not a time for groping through dusty, musty tomes or tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal. It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising, to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown." 03/28/2018: Three Things To Remember about Life! 1. Friendship is not about who you spend the most time with, it's about who you have the best time with and who's actually there for you. 2. Sometimes you have to stop being scared and just go for it. Either it'll work or it won't. That's life. 3. We all make mistakes. We have to simply remember to forgive ourselves and keep moving forward in order to progress. 03/22/2018: Some people are going to leave your life, but that's not the end of your story. That's the end of their part in your story! 03/18/2018: 7 Cardinal Rules For Life: 1. Make Peace With Your Past - so it won't disturb your present. 2. What Other People Think Of You - is none of your business. 3. Time Heals Almost Everything - Give it time! 4. No One Is In Charge - of your happiness except you. 5. Don't Compare Your Life To Others - and don't judge them, you have no ideal what their journey is all about. 6. Stop Thinking Too Much - It's alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it. 7. SMILE - YOU don't own all the problems in the world! 03/10/2018: Sometimes you meet someone, and it's so clear that the two of you on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you're in love, or you are partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don't know if that makes me believe in coincidence or fate or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something. ~ Anonymous 02/24/2017: "Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there." Otomo No Yakamochi 02/23/2018: "Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière 02/03/2018: "Your (our) imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions...." 02.01.2018: "Do everything with a good heart and expect nothing in return. You will never be disappointed!" 01/28/2018: "People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle." ~Thich Nhat Hanh 01/12/2018: To describe who I am, what I like and what my life plans are in a few sentences is beyond me. So I'll just say this.... I'm open to meeting new people and experiencing new things. What that looks like, and who its with, is a complete mystery to me. 01/07/2018: Welcome to a New year. In 2018, Remember that Life is short, so break rules !!forgive quickly !!kiss slowly Laugh uncontrollably And never regret anything that made you smile !! 12/30/2017: As we come to the end of another year, we as gay males need to come to the realization that We have unrealistic expectations. Gay men are beyond picky, and we feel like we can be because with social media the pool of possibilities feels endless. We think that if one guy doesn't work out than we can just kick him to the curb, and find ourselves an even better version of gentleman X. We are men with egos, and we strive to be the best at everything we do because it was something we learned as closeted children. If we could be amazing at everything we did, we thought that maybe you wouldn't be able to tell what was different about us. However, this tends to lead to us having crazy expectations for ourselves, and therefore our mates as well. Everyone is supposed to look like a model, have an Adonis body, be super successful, like everything we like, and fit the molds we've created that no one can ever actually live up to. We all expect to have perfect tens for partners even if we aren't a ten, which no one is, and the quest for this mythical creature ruins our ability to see how amazing the man in front of us truly is. 11/01/2017: Welcome to November. "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." - Leo Buscaglia 10/21/2017: I might not be someone first choice but I'm a Great choice. I may not be rich but I'm valuable. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not 'cause I'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past but I'm proud of who I'm today. I may not be perfect.. I don't need to be. Take me as I'm or watch me as I walk away..... 10/13/2017: "When you meet the one who changes the way your heart beats, dance with them to that rhythm for as long as the song lasts". 09/23/2017: My thoughts: I enjoy meeting all kinds of people and learning the different things about different people in different situations. I don't want to tell you how wonderful I am, that, I want you to find out for yourself. I would like to learn more about you and how wonderful you are. 09/22/2017: A wise sea captain caught in a tropical storm knows that if he holds his vessel on the periphery it will get hurled from one side to the other. If he can reach the eye of the storm, he will enter a place of stillness. The storm will then subside and the ship can continue its journey. Similarly, when everything around me is changing in a very intense way, the best place for me to seek shelter and refuge is not on the outside, but deep within the self, where I can get in touch with my own inner being, find strength and stability, then come out and do whatever it is I need to. 09/04/2017: "Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow." ~Douglas Pagels, These Are the Gifts I'd Like to Give to You. I Hope you are enjoying your Labor Day! 08/31/2017: My continued thoughts and prayers to the state of Texas and Louisiana as Harvey brings it's rains to New Orleans. "When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile." ~Author Unknown Today, One of my grey hairs just fell out all on its own. This is obviously a sign that I'm getting younger and my body is rejecting the aging process. 08/04/2017: How can I captivate the attention of someone and give you the essence of who I am in a paragraph, that's impossible... ;) 07/27/2017: I'm looking for love, but Im not desperate. Sometimes I like being alone, Sometimes I want to be with someone, someone that I can share happiness ,emotions and crazy things. 07/21/2017: "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe 07/11/2017: "In understanding freedom one understands also what discipline is.... Freedom and discipline go together, they are not two separate things.... Discipline does not mean suppression and control, nor is it adjustment to a pattern or an ideology; it means a mind that sees 'what is' and learns from 'what is'." ~Jiddu Krishnamurti 06/22/2017: Life: is a matter of perspective. What I see though my eyes is not what you see through your eyes. "Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships." ~Charles Simic 05/04/2017 Wondering what to do on a date: "There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted." ~Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behaviour "A man runs either to escape that which lay behind him, or to prepare for that which waits ahead. Only by knowing his heart is one able to tell the difference." So a little about me... I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. I am what you see and what you study with great precision but still have no clue as to what lurks in my mind. I'm pretty stereotypical, I am quiet with some and can roar like a lion with others. I am an observer by nature that focuses on details instead of the grand picture. I'm a procrastinator but I've done some of my most exceptional work under pressure and in a matter of five minutes. I am the person who you can trust with your deepest darkest secrets. I am hope for the cries of the unheard and can be as complex as Darwins Theory of Evolution or as simple as 1 + 1. I can fill the shoes of a judge a juror a witness and even an executioner. I am well versed in many things and can provide information about everything. I am the person who can see behind the daily facade of most and get to what it is you really are. I am a puzzle that can be complexed or simple, but I will always be me. This is just a small fraction of who I am and you can't tell a person by what they write about themselves and you can't base it on a picture because its just like reading the cover of a book. If you don't take the time to read the book you will never know what is on the inside and this is why so many relationships fail. Does a person really know what they are looking for until they actually find it? Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. Give me a holla back.
